Education: Muhlenberg High School, West Chester University and Cabrini University.

TODAY'S SPONSOR:

What plans do you want to implement in your sphere of influence: Support parents and teachers to make sure all students have the tools necessary to have a positive and productive academic experience.

How I spend my free time: Spending as much time as possible with my wife, three daughters and two dogs Utley and Mya. Trying to stay in touch with coaching swimming.

Educator who inspired me: Despite my challenges in math growing up, there were two high school math teachers who showed great patience and perseverance with me, which ended up motivating me to get in to education: Mrs. Beth Slater and Mr. Chris Spohn. Mrs. Slater is still a teacher at Muhlenberg and Mr. Spohn is now a high school principal for Hamburg School District.

Funniest classroom moment: So many to choose from! I laugh every day, which proves to me I'm in the right profession.

If I weren't an educator, I'd be: A swim coach. I coached for several years and often pondered how wonderful it would be if I could do it full time.

You might not know: I grew up in a family of nine kids! I have two other siblings who are in education: an older brother who is the supervisor of athletics at Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and a younger brother who is an assistant principal at Haverford Middle School in Havertown, Delaware County.
